The scheme seeks to provide cost efficient, broad large-cap exposure with an implementation approach designed to manage trading and impact costs while keeping portfolio positioning close to the scheme’s benchmark over time, using the efficient instruments and maintaining a small active share
  • Broad Diversification: Exposure to India's top 100 large-cap companies provides broad market coverage.
  • Costs Efficiency: Efficient management of fund execution costs may allow a larger share of your returns to stay invested with you
  • Low Active Share: Portfolio positioning that seeks to stay close to the benchmark, aiming to reduce stock-selection risk.
  • Smart Execution: Investment strategies aimed at managing execution costs and supporting net returns.
The scheme may deploy the below strategies to get exposure in a cost-efficient manner:
  • Single‑stock futures at a discount: When a stock’s near‑month futures trade below the cash (spot) price, we may use such futures aiming to obtain exposure more efficiently (subject to limits and regulations).
  • Index futures at a discount: Similarly, if index futures trade below index levels, we may use such futures to obtain exposure efficiently.
  • Merger‑related arbitrage: When a Company in an Index is merging with another firm, the scheme may buy the stock which is at a discount to the announced merger ratio up to permissible limits.
  • Smarter rebalancing: When the Nifty 100 constituents' change, we may rebalance gradually rather than on the exact index date to seek better execution.
  • Small opportunistic active share: Around corporate actions (demergers/special situations), we may phase entries/exits to manage liquidity and impact costs. The aim is to keep overall active share low (<10%).
We seek exposure to the Nifty 100 TRI constituents in terms of market capitalization, we do not BUY/SELL stocks based on their Valuation or Fundamentals.
